After defeating Danny Garcia on Saturday night, Keith Thurman has made the Top 10 P4P list in the world for the first time in his career.

‘One Time’ edged out Garcia to unify the welterweight division. He became the first fighter to do so since Floyd Mayweather retired.

Thurman moved up the six places necessary into the number ten spot as Garcia dropped from 14 to 24 due to his first defeat.

Shinsuke Yamanaka‘s continued dominance of the WBC bantamweight belt means he heads north to take Garcia’s place. Meanwhile, Tony Bellew‘s win over David Haye sees the Briton make a P4P Top 50 breakthrough.

Brian Viloria‘s return to winning ways sees him edge a few places to make it to the final position on the board as a direct result of Alexander Povetkin being dropped from the rankings entirely on the back of a failed drug test.

Andre Ward remains at the helm, with the following eight positions unchanged as the new year begins over the next few weeks.
